If it is convenience you want, perhaps you would be even happier with: git config status.showUntrackedFiles no As far as "SVN got it right": that may well be the case, but we have to deal with the fact that "git status" is really a dry-run version of "git commit", which already has a "-q" option, which does something totally different. So I am a little hesitant to endorse its use in "git status" for something unrelated (and I am hesitant to have redundant command line options, as well). -Peff -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe git" in the body of a message to majordomo@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html
